First grade students in Mrs. Michlig's class have been learning about characteristics of folktales. Students have learned that folktales: 1. Do NOT have royalty; 2. Often (but not always) have 3 of something; 3. Have animals that act like people; and 4. Have a villain.
To support what Mrs. Michlig is doing in the classroom with Common Core, students thought about all the different folktales we had shared so far. They chose ONE villain from a story and created a WANTED poster for that character. Students had to use textual evidence to prove the crime! Take a look at our WANTED posters! (Note students used "kid" spelling.)
After reading Little Red Riding Hood and Lon Po Po: A Chinese Little Red Riding Hood, students compared and contrasted the two folktales. Then, students wrote about the story they liked best.
